What Else Can I Do?

Become involved on campus; but the number of organizations to which you belong is not as important as the quality of service you give. There is potential for a leadership role in the future. Get information on campus organizations in the Student Activities Center of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 2nd. Floor.

Secure an internship or volunteer. LSAC website also has information on internships.
